So if you haven’t noticed, I’ve been gone on a small vacation. So it’s catch up time for me, time to get back in the groove and see what I’ve been missing. I figured I’d start it off with my week in review.
Sellsius, Bloodhound, and Future of Real Estate blogs follow the trials and tribulations of Zillow (wonderfull, the one week I go away is the one week of the year that I would have had the opportunity to bash on both REALTOR AND Zillow, good timing Jon)

Living up to their name, Genious Realty rolls out their fizbomap. I say living up to their name because they’ve figured out a way to get FSBO’s to come to them, instead of having to track them down. Once the FSBO’s are unsuccessfull, where do you think they’re going to go to first?

Property Grunt informs about a rental scam press conference and talks about the nefarious rental double dip. - Sidenote - I once met an agent who bragged about a triple dip, where he got a fee (one months rent) from the renter, the landlord, AND the relocation company, back in 2000. It’s legal if it’s fully disclosed to ALL parties of course, he didn’t brag about that though.

See what happens when you leave us Jon. I communicated with both David G of Zillow and David Berenbaum of NCRC and this may all just blow away. A tempest in a FTC teapot.
The Dalton Frink video is the best though.

Hey Property Monger, how does it go out there in Brookline? This is actually a great post above. Possibly consider doing a weekly review every week! Blogroll? Any case, be well…

Welcome back, Jon. I always enjoy your blog. Sad that in Real Estate (and in blogging) we have to apologize for taking a week off.
